Summary - Greenhaven, Laurieston Road, Gatehouse of Fleet DG7 2BE
3 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Single‑level home with big views, solar power and great storage—scope to modernise and add value.
Timber‑clad Colt bungalow with 15 solar panels and air‑source heat pump
Greenhaven is a timber‑clad “Colt” bungalow set on an elevated rural plot with wide Fleet Valley views. The single‑storey layout includes a very large living room, conservatory/veranda, three bedrooms (one ensuite) and ground‑floor toilet — practical for downsizers or anyone wanting single‑level living. The house benefits from 15 solar panels and an air‑source heat pump, plus extensive floored attic and basement storage and an integral garage beneath the conservatory.
The plot is a major asset: generous, secluded gardens with mature trees, a patio and a long balcony ideal for alfresco dining. Driveway parking provides off‑street space for multiple vehicles and the elevated position gives attractive countryside outlooks toward the Galloway hills and nearby coastline within easy reach. Village amenities include a primary school, shops, library and health centre, with outdoor pursuits locally.
The property presents clear scope to add value through updating and landscaping. The interior fittings are in traditional style and the exterior cladding and roof show weathering; renovation of finishes and gardens would unlock significant potential. Practical positives include double glazing, wide doors, ground‑floor facilities and good storage, while broadband speeds are fast.
Important drawbacks: the bungalow is timber framed and timber clad so external maintenance and weatherproofing are material considerations. The garden has been left long and will need work to be brought into regular use. The wider area is classified as very deprived and the location is remote, which may affect services and resale market dynamics. Mobile signal is average.
